How to Create a Lease

1. In the sidebar, select Leasing, then select Create lease.

2. Property. Choose the property to lease. Each property shows its landlord and monthly rent.

3. Tenant. Pick an existing tenant, or select Invite new tenant and enter their first name, last name and email address. Phone is optional. Select Continue.

4. Terms. Choose the start date. The default term is 12 months. Check the monthly rent and security deposit, which Propurti fills in from the property.

   ⚠️ Heads up: If the start date is in the past, Propurti asks you to reconcile the rent history before it creates the lease. Tick the months already collected, or select None collected. Unticked months are recorded as uncollected, and the tenant is never back-billed. The create button stays unavailable until you choose.

5. If the tenant and any co-tenants already signed on paper, turn on All parties have already signed this lease. If you already hold the deposit, turn on Security deposit already collected. You can add a co-tenant with Add co-tenant.

6. Select Create draft lease. When you have turned on the signed option, the button reads Create active lease.

What to expect

The lease appears in your Leasing list. A lease marked as signed is Active. Otherwise it is a draft that you send to the tenant for signature. The tenant sees the lease and their rent in their own portal.

⚠️ Heads up: If you turn on Security deposit already collected, Propurti sends no deposit request to the tenant.
